Abstract
In order to calculate the degree of dissociation of macro-zwitterions a function has been derived for the distribution of distances between oppositely charged ends of a macro-zwitterion chain, bearing in mind the coulombic interaction and the conventional statistics of polymer chains in solution. Numerical integral values of the distribution function were tabulated to enable dissociation constants to be calculated bearing in mind the type of polymer chain, solvent polarity and chain length. It was shown that the relation between calculated dissociation constants and chain length approximates to the relationship predicted merely on the basis of a simple thermodynamic study of fairly long chains.
